Walter Cronkite covered Tricia Nixon opening the first digital transportation network on Oct. 24, 1972. The Morgantown PRT network has since delivered 150 million oil-free passenger-miles with only two minor injuries. Injuries on roads are 11,200 per million (link).
Suspended networks are well understood as illustrated by the H-Bahn:
- H-Bahn vehicles are similar to buses.

Suspended networks have incredibly wonderful safety records.
